Bombing runs

When in control of a bombing run, keep checking the mini-map to see all enemies. Any enemies standing outside the shelter will appear there. Although you may miss bombing a few enemies grouped together at their base, it is better to kill campers outside the air raid hut.

Capturing bases

After spawning, fly a plane directly to an airfield base. Parachute out and immediately capture that base. This allows your team to spawn at the strongest point and also unlocks the bombing run, tanks, and another plane. Although you may have lost a plane, you now have a new one and 30 more points.

Detecting attackers

All empty vehicles will appear on the map. When boats suddenly appear around the base you are defending, it will let you know when attackers are there.

Easy healing

After getting hit by an infantry soldier's rocket while in a tank, kill him and other nearby enemies. Jump out of the tank, take his kit and heal yourself.

Easy kills

You usually will not get points when Use a sniper from within your spawn point However, the anti-aircraft area on aircraft carriers are not treated the same way. You can remain in the gun area and get points. This is especially useful on Iwo Jima when attacking the Lighthouse or Beach.

Easy repair

Infantry can fix all vehicles with the wrench. They will also get points for repair.

Faster reloads

Press [Reload], immediately sprint a few steps, then press [Reload] again.
